Hermione's P.O.V. 'Top most floor'

I gasped; my heart was pounding with every step I took. He was there behind, I knew it. He will kill me if I don't run faster. I briefly wondered how I could get lost in Hogwarts, though he had taken me to the topmost floor, of which I had little, if no knowledge of.

"I know you are there, sweetie." His eerie and cold voice made my skin crawl. I couldn't believe why I had bent to his threats in the first place. But now was too late. His voice simply made me jump, and shudder. This was no light thing. I needed a counselor. Hell, why was I thinking of that right now? I spotted a hidden piece of armor in front. I wish I hadn't been stupid enough to give him my wand. I hid behind the armor, as his footsteps drew closer. My heart was beating at such a fast rate; I imagined I would die with heart attack right there and then. Thump. Thump. He came closer and closer. And suddenly there was no noise at all. I shivered miserably. My robes were wet. My hands were clammy. My mind was foggy.

"So here you are, you Mudblood bitch." A scream stuck at my throat. I began to tremble violently as his hard hands gripped my shoulders. I tried to run free, but he would not let go.

"So you think you can run away this time, do you? I will show you what happens when you disobey me." And with that he pushed me towards the wall. My back hit the wall with a sickening thud. The world began to shake before my eyes. Everything started to turn black. I tried to swallow myself gratefully in that unconsciousness, but he slapped me. My cheek stung, as tears I didn't know I had shed, trickled past.

"Speak now, Mudblood. I dare you to speak now." His voice was almost a whisper. I shuddered. His violet eyes, turned into four, as another wave of dizziness hit me.

His right hand slowly moved to my neck, as my head shot back in fear. He closed his grip over my neck. "Want to send me to Azkaban, do you?" His hand tightened. I choked. My voice had disappeared. I quaked with fright. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. My mind repeated it over and over. He loosened his grip. My eyes opened. "I am not going to kill you so soon, bitch. I will show you torture. I will make you feel the pain." "No." I whimpered hoarsely. "No. I won't tell anything to anyone. Just let me go. I promise!" He smirked evilly. "Do you really think that, whore? If you do, you are greatly mistaken." He pressed himself against me, as I felt his throbbing erection. No! screamed my mind pitifully. He had hit me before, but never threatened me sexually, I was horrified. He hit me again, and I tasted blood. My blood.

Another blow sent me sprawling on the floor. I didn't know how long I could bear this, before I was fatally injured. My throat just wouldn't work. He hovered above me, and gave me a kick. I finally gave a blood-curdling scream and he looked at me in disgust as it echoed through the whole corridor.

Draco's POV 'Doing head-boy rounds.'

'Where the hell is Granger?' He looked around in distaste, as the empty corridors passed by. Only one more floor to go, and then he would be back in his room, if Granger finally decided to show up. He heard a noise as he climbed the stairs leading to the last floor. His face snapped in the direction of the sound as more sounds came to his ears. He blinked in surprise; no one in their sane mind would be roaming here at this time.

The noises quieted down for a moment, as he stealthily made his way through. The students responsible for this were going to be in trouble. He heard a scream followed by a shout, when his alert gears kicked in and he broke into a run. He spotted a boy hunched over a girl, as she tried to push him away. He didn't notice the blood at first. But when the girl turned her face to look at him and their eyes met in contact, his heart skipped a beat. Shit. Granger was covered in blood and this guy was looking dangerous. "Stupefy!" he said this incantation non-verbally, though with full force of his mind. The stupified boy froze and fell to the floor as he jogged there to see Granger collapse in exhaustion. Her eyes closed, showing only one emotion. Fear.

A/N: How is it. This chapter had to be small to shape things up. I am waiting for responses! And the next chapters will be longer and more informative for sure. So don't forget to R n R.
